I started weaving this way back in 2012 - according to the project page in my weaving notebook for my loom, I started it on October 28, 2012. I finally finished the weaving last month - February 27, 2025. My beating is uneven, and for the most part denser than the pattern called for, so the beauty of the warp is unfortunately mostly hidden. But it is finished, and now I can weave something else on that loom. I am not unhappy with the result, imperfect though it may be. One thing life (and spinning) has taught me is to not be overly judgmental about things. Do I always try to improve my technique and increase my mastery? Absolutely! Do I beat myself up when I fall short of ideals? Absolutely not! Every day is a new day to learn, to grow, to improve.
